What kind of wine is Langhe Nebbiolo DOC 2024 - G.D. Vajra?

The Langhe Nebbiolo DOC 2024 - G.D. Vajra is an elegant and authentic Piedmontese red wine, made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes, the emblematic grape variety of the Langhe. This appellation represents one of the most genuine expressions of the territory: a wine with a fine and harmonious profile, capable of naturally combining drinkability and complexity. Although young, it already shows a refined structure, well-present yet delicate tannins, and a freshness that invites another sip.

Vintage Details

The 2024 vintage was characterized by balanced weather conditions, which favored a regular ripening of the grapes. Sunny days and cool nights enhanced the aromatic concentration and elegance of the tannins, yielding a Nebbiolo with a clear identity and pleasant drinkability right from the start. The manual harvest, carried out with meticulous selection of the bunches, helped preserve the purity and quality of the fruit.

Winemaking and Aging

After harvesting, the grapes are destemmed and subjected to traditional fermentation for about 15 days at controlled temperature, with gentle punch-downs to extract color and aromas without excessive concentration. This is followed by post-fermentation maceration, which allows the wine to gain softness and complexity. Aging takes place exclusively in stainless steel, a choice made by G.D. Vajra to preserve the freshness and varietal fragrance of Nebbiolo as much as possible, expressing its natural elegance without the influence of wood.
